Space Engineers now on Steam Early Access

Astronautic engineers unite! The alpha builds of Space Engineers is now available for crash test dummies to don their space suits, wield their space wrenches (not a euphemism) and get to building stuff.

The game's core mechanics are the focus of this early peek such as building in creative mode, and the simulation of physics and destruction. Gamers encouraged to 'go wild'.

Build everything and anything your space frontiering mind can think of as developer Keen Software wants feedback as much as possible for future updates.

"We are really amazed by how players responded during the “early access” test run on Early Access and what they created just during one weekend. We have seen a rollercoaster made of gravity generators, a Borg ship, spherical gravity, mother ships so large that they don’t fit in a view distance, an elevator made of a ship and more," said Keen's Marek Rosa.

Maybe you'll get NASA knocking on your door for the secret behind your space elevator/theme park/petting zoo. Space Engineers is available for £11.99 via Steam Early Access. See the video below for some community creations.
